FAQs

Is this shower valve suitable for low water pressure systems?

Yes, this thermostatic bar mixer shower is designed to work effectively with all pressure systems, including gravity fed systems which typically have lower pressure.

What is included with the Triton Thermostatic Bar Mixer Shower?

This product is the valve only. It includes the thermostatic bar mixer valve and the Fast Fit Easy Kit for installation. A separate shower head, hose, and riser rail are required.

How do I clean and maintain the shower valve?

Clean the valve with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Periodically check for scale build-up and refer to the manufacturer's instructions for descaling.

What is the guarantee period for this product?

The Triton Thermostatic Bar Mixer shower is backed by a 5-year parts and labour guarantee.

Can I use this valve with an electric shower system?

This valve is designed for systems with a central hot water supply. It is not compatible with electric showers, which heat water on demand.

What does TMV2 approval mean?

TMV2 approval signifies that the valve has been tested and certified to meet strict standards for thermostatic mixing performance, ensuring safety and consistent temperature control.

Why is it called a 'bar mixer' shower?

It's referred to as a 'bar mixer' due to the bar shape of the valve housing and its function of mixing hot and cold water to a desired temperature.

Troubleshooting

No hot or cold water, or low flow rate

Check that the water supply valves are fully open. Ensure there are no blockages in the inlet filters or the shower head. Verify that the chosen shower head is compatible with your system's pressure.

Water temperature is not consistent

Ensure the thermostatic valve is functioning correctly. Check for any debris that might be obstructing the thermostatic element. For consistent issues, a professional check might be needed.

Valve is leaking

Inspect all connections, especially those made with the Fast Fit Easy Kit. Tighten any loose fittings. If the leak persists, internal seals may need replacement, or professional assistance is recommended.

Handles are stiff or difficult to turn

Check for any scale build-up. If scale is present, follow care instructions for descaling. Ensure no debris is obstructing the valve mechanism.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides precise and consistent thermostatic temperature control for user comfort.
  • Compatible with a wide range of water pressure systems.
  • Designed for easy installation as a replacement for existing 150mm centre shower valves.
  • Durable construction with quality materials ensures longevity.
  • Meets important safety and water regulations (WRAS and TMV2 approved).

Cons

  • This product is the valve only and requires separate purchase of shower heads, hoses, and other components.

  • Requires basic plumbing knowledge for installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This bar mixer shower valve is designed for straightforward installation, especially as a replacement. Ensure your water supply is turned off before beginning. The unit features standard 150mm pipe centres, allowing it to connect directly to existing pipework if the spacing matches. The included Fast Fit Easy Kit simplifies the connection process, with a focus on making joints external to the wall to prevent leaks. Follow the included manufacturer's instructions carefully for secure mounting and connection to hot and cold water supplies.

Compatibility: This valve is compatible with all standard domestic water pressure systems, including:

  • Gravity fed systems
  • Unvented mains pressure systems
  • Instantaneous gas heated systems (combination boilers)

It requires separate purchase of a shower head, riser rail, and shower hose to complete the installation.

Care: To maintain the finish and performance, clean the valve regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the chrome plating. Periodically check for any drips or leaks and ensure the handles move smoothly. For internal maintenance, refer to the manufacturer's guide for descaling or servicing recommendations.
